5 Pros of Virtual Home Tours

While virtual home tours have been utilized by out-of-town home buyers for years, online tours are becoming increasingly popular among all prospective homeowners. Especially now, with COVID-19 stay-at-home orders and social distancing guidelines, more buyers are hesitant to walk through strangers' houses, and sellers are nervous about letting groups of people enter their spaces.

Searching for your new home online not only makes it easy to explore what's currently available on the market within your price range, but virtual tours also provide the experience of touring a display home without ever having to step outside. Whether you're planning to move to a new state or starting the search for your dream home, here are five pros of virtual home tours.

You won't have to worry about scheduling appointmentsVirtual home tours make it possible to tour homes at your convenience from the comfort of your own home. In other words, you won't have to worry about taking an entire day off from work, setting aside time during the weekend, or coordinating with your real estate agent's schedule. Instead, online home tours allow you to view a display home at any time, eliminating the need to schedule an appointment.

Virtual home tours offer an immerse experienceWhile scrolling through pictures of the master bedroom, bath, and floor plan can give you a basic idea of the home's layout, 3D walkthroughs can give you a more thorough understanding of the home's features than pictures alone.

Virtual home tours allow you to explore each room at your own pace and focus on the features on your must-have list, such as flooring, lighting, storage, or countertops. You can take as much time as you need to absorb the home's details and layout, and then reach out to your real estate agent if you have any further questions.

You can tour homes without making travel plansWhether you're relocating to a new state, thinking about purchasing an investment property, or you have a busy schedule, it can be difficult to find time to travel out of town for an in-person tour. Especially during the time of COVID-19, the process of buying a home has become even more complicated. Virtual home tours allow prospective buyers to explore display homes without traveling, so you'll be able to narrow down your list before making travel plans.

You'll be able to picture living in your dream homeVirtual home tours allow interested buyers to spend as much time as needed exploring potential properties. As you step through each room during your 3D walkthrough, you'll be able to picture where you might put your desk, TV, or couch, making it possible to plan the layout of your new home and visualize yourself living there.

You can tour the property multiple timesBuyers tend to tour a home multiple times before making a final decision. Because virtual home tours allow interested buyers to tour a display home at any time—and as many times as you want—you can return to the property as much as needed to review the home's key features, compare the property with others on your list, and make your final decision with confidence.
